    Yes, assuming the card is used solely for the puropse of the business. Its just another form of credit.

    However, your sanity may be questioned as to why your using a credit card, when much cheaper forms of credit exist.

    News to me. Unless you're talking about a finance lease, where the interest charge is added back, and the actual repayment is deducted in the CT comp.
